New oversight rules for NY private schools, yeshivas expected to be approved

New oversight rules that would make it easier to crack down on religious and other private schools are expected to be approved by state education officials on Tuesday.

The New York State Board of Regents is set to vote on the guidelines, which unanimously sailed through committee on Monday.
